Every day before going to bed I connect my iPod to my sound system, put it into sleep-mode and - if necessary - configure the iPod-alarm clock.
Several hours later (hopefully enough to start a powerful day) the iPod Alarm goes on and wakes up the sound system, humming me off sleep.

I tried several combinations so I couldn’t say if my selection might change during the next week but here is my current playlist:

1. Sonny & Cher - I Got You Babe
Don’t remember?

Well, it’s Groundhog Day… again… and that must mean we’re up here at Gobbler’s Knob waiting for the forecast from the world’s most-famous groundhog weatherman, Punxsutawney Phil, who’s just about to tell us how much more winter we can expect.

*Chhrrzz* This classic did not get me up? *_*
All right, we need more:

2. Trinity - Titoli
and
3. Con La Stella Di Vicesceriffo
both by Franco Micalizzi from the soundtrack of the famous (*epic*) movie “Lo chiamavano Trinità” (German: “Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels”, 1970 with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer) succeed.

Quite similar to this…

4. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Ennio Morricone, most of you know it, also a very nice track to get up with.
Finally… lately…ultimately:

5. The Imperial March by John Williams
Darth Vader is coming, it’s obviously pretty urgent to get up now ;)

The trick is not to oversize the playlist so you start slumbering again…
Having said this…

It’s Groundhog Day!

’cause I’m groundhoggin’ again…

First D.J.: Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today.
Second D.J.: It’s coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
First D.J.: Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
Second D.J.: [mockingly] That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here’s the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a “big blizzard thing!”
First D.J.: Yessss, they are. But you know, there’s another reason why today is especially exciting.
Second D.J.: Especially cold!
First D.J.: Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody’s lips…
Second D.J.: - On their chapped lips…
First D.J.: - On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
Second D.J.: Punxsutawney Phil!
First D.J.: Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers - it’s
[in unison]
First D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!
Second D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!

Ok, just another

Phil: Commander, what’s going on?
State Trooper: There’s nothing going on. We’re closing the road. Big blizzard moving in.
Phil: What blizzard? It’s a couple flakes.
State Trooper: Don’t you listen to the weather? We got a major storm here.
Phil: I make the weather! All this moisture coming up out of the Gulf will push off to the east and hit Altoona.
State Trooper: Pal, you got that moisture on your head. You can go back to Punxsutawney or you can freeze to death. It’s your choice. What’s it gonna be?
Phil: [pauses] I’m thinking…

Zwei Auszüge:

Slang

The ever-evolving bastardization of the written and spoken language as a result of social and cultural idolization of uneducated, unitelligable celebrities.
“Aw shnap, son. Check out the fine ass sho-tee rockin’ all dat ice.”

Translation: “Hello, my good sir. Take a gander at the beautiful woman wearing the expensive jewels.”

blog

a place where people bitch about their daily activities which nobody is interested in. topics like why they argue with boyfriend and how they end up together at last, daily aneroxic activities like drinking blended organic fruits and vegetable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, talking about cutting themselves with a razor blade and how good they felt, bitch about their shopping activities and what they got.

just another way to seek attention and sympathy from other people.
Sample of a blog entry:
“Today i argued with my babypooh, he got mad a me just because justin asked me out for lunch, he ended up ignoring me and not calling me. i don’t know what i’ve done wrong and why am i crying over it right now. it’s just stupid, he’s not the man that he used to be, i still remember how he treats me when we first started, it was all so nice and perfect. but now, we’re like arguing over small matters almost every week. i don’t think i can take this anymore, i’m just tired of this relationship.

owh look, someone actually commented on my previous entry.”

Die außergewöhnliche Vielfalt der Begriffe variiert in ihrem Niveau wie eine Sinuskurve.
Um das Motto der Seite zu unterstützen, finden sich unter vielen Begriffen Zitate, die den Slang über das Suchwort suggerieren.
Ebenfalls hervorzuheben ist, dass es zu vielen Begriffen und Phrasen (!) mehrere Erläuterungen gibt:

Mc Donalds

1) Contrary to popular belief, McDonalds in NOT a restaurant. Restaurants usually COOK food. McDonalds just heats it back up in a damn microwave. Nearly a synonym with hellhole. Known to hire hobos. Average IQ of people inside is 7. This is due to the brain shutting down from the sheer nastiness of their food. Prolonged exposure almost always results in permanent, extensive brain damage.
McDonalds is where yo go to get retarded.

2) A fastfood “so-called” resturant which you can count on disgusting food that isn’t cooked anywhere near a appealing level.

The Counter staff also has a nasty attitude as well worldwide.
“Uhoh, since my friend is going to Mc Donalds, it’s time to give him a barf bag for his own sake!”

Während die Kommentare unter den Artikeln häufig den wenig gehaltvollen YouTube-Diskussionen ähneln (…), machen unzählige witzige, einfallsreiche Artikel das Urban Dictionary zu einem unterhaltsamen Lesezeichen, das - einmal angesurft - bestimmt nicht nach dem ersten Begriff verlassen wird ;)

Urban Dictionary besuchen

Der Ajax-basierte Meta-Suchdienst spuckt in (selbst für Ajax) rasender Geschwindigkeit Ergebnisse aus Google, Google Bilder, Wikipedia und Youtube für das eingegebene Suchwort aus.

Noch besser wäre es, wenn noch mehr (respektive mehrseitig) Google-Ergebnisse ausgegeben werden würden. Bisher gibt es zu den Ergebnissen lediglich jeweils einen Link zum Anbieter (”Alle Ergebnisse” bei Google, Youtube,…).

Auch ein Plugin für die Integration in Firefox wäre nett.

Zudem vermisse ich schmerzlich ein favorisiertes Add-on für den Feuerfuchs, das mir neben meine Google-Ergebnisse jeweils ein Vorschau-Bildchen setzt (Google Preview).

Unterstützung von Delicious, Twitter, flickr und Google Docs ist geplant (via).

Bereits jetzt hat sich keyboardr jedoch zumindest an meinem System einen Testlauf verdient.

Keyboardr ausprobieren.
